Cameron was elected to the position in September 2016 when she found the league’s finances in disrepair. When she found nearly $37,000 unaccounted for, she asked the Michigan State Police to conduct an investigation.

Cameron said she believes the restitution paid was fair and that Little League is done with the matter.

She said the little league will be using the funds to purchase and build real dugouts for the kids.

“I just think that the state police and the prosecuting attorney’s office were great to work with and did a great job,” Cameron said. “Because of all of our sponsors and parents were got through this and next year will be a great year for the kids.”

Mitchell was charged with embezzling as an agent, but pleaded down to attempted embezzling to cut her possible jail time in half, making it a two-and-a-half-year offense.

Mitchell wore a red t-shirt and black pants with her eyeglasses resting on her head as Lane read the terms of the plea to her.

Mitchell was the Port Huron Township Little League treasurer for four years. Mitchell embezzled funds from Jan. 1, 2013 to Oct. 6, 2016, according to officials.

Mitchell will return to court at 2 p.m. Sept. 18 for her sentencing. In the meantime, the county probation office will conduct a pre-sentencing investigation.
